Re: Ladies of the Temperance Movement

Indeed. Your comment reminds me of something Churchill once said. He was speaking before some sort of crowd when a woman stood up and shouted, "If you were my husband, I'd poison you!" Churchill stopped and replied, "If you were my wife, I'd take it."

Re: Ladies of the Temperance Movement

Sorry to drag the thread off topic; Churchill had some of the greatest quotes of all time and was a notorious imbiber.

We all probably remember the story about the time, while attending some party or function, he came out of the bathroom before he'd zipped up. A woman saw him and confidentially remarked, "Why, Mr. Churchill, your thing is sticking out!" Churchill's reply: "Madam, don't flatter yourself. It is HANGING out."

Cheers!

Holy shit! That's my mother-in-law kneeling on the bottom left of the photograph! (Well, at least it looks like the old crow displaying her usual mug piece after she's seen me stagger in from a night at the Irish Times Pub.)
